Story Notes
The personal story of Rabia al Najairr, who grew up in a typical Catholic family but converted to Islam as a teenager.
She went from going to pubs and discos with friends to eliminating alcohol and revealing clothes from her life.
Rabia's conversion meant that she lost touch with most of her old friends and she could no longer attend family occasions were people would be drinking alcohol. In this documentary she explains why.
